Press Release Summary = VizUp Reducer Enterprise is a polygon reducer for optimizing
3D models.

Press Release Body = Enterprise tool works great with very large 3D models.

VizUp Technology unveils a polygon reducer that balances detail and file size to
simplify very large 3D models that have been converted from CAD/CAM/CAE.

VANCOUVER, Canada. - March 7, 2007: VizUp Technology today announces the
unveiling of VizUp Reducer Enterprise 2.3. VizUp Reducer helps you achieve an
optimal balance between maintaining the necessary detail in a model and a file size
that is sufficiently compact that users can download it in a reasonable amount of
time.

The application is very simple to use and requires no arcane knowledge to operate.
Import your model and simply choose the level of polygon reduction from buttons
located just above the viewing area of the application. Then choose the Reduce
option from the pull-down menu. Model optimization is performed automatically.

VizUp Reducer Enterprise offers a batch mode reduction operation that allows you to
perform model optimization according to a set of parameters for all files in a
specified folder -- a very useful capability when you\'re working with a large number
of models. \"Join similar in material shapes\" and \"Join adjoining shapes\" options is
now available in Batch Mode.

You have an option not to set any parameters manually, in which case VizUp Reducer
will automatically pick the most suitable ones for your particular model. You can
save polygon-reduced models in the VIZUP file format, which retains the relevant
reduction information so you can revisit the file later if you need a different
reduction percentage for another purpose; you don\'t have to convert the model again
unless the original has changed. The process of optimization results in the deletion
of some vertices, but it does not change the coordinates of the remaining vertices,
resulting in minimal distortions during texture mapping.

What\'s New in Version 2.3 ?
Improved support of Poser 7 .obj output models.
Wavefront OBJ file format is open and has been adopted by other 3D graphics
application vendors and can be imported/exported from e-Frontier\'s Poser, Autodesk\'s
Maya, Blender, Misfit Model 3D and 3D Studio Max, Hexagon, Newtek Lightwave, etc.

VizUp Reducer Enterprise runs under Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003. The product is
